- Then don’t buy an upright, because they are all uncomfortable for the same reasons, and no accessory will fix that.
Another cheaper recumbent is the Sun Super Cruizer: http://www.sunbicycles.com/03/html_04/recumbents/ez1_sx.html .

For the ultimate in comfort, they’re a bit harder to transport but long-wheelbase recumbents are said to be best.
One cheaper ($1000) one getting high owner remarks is the Cycle Genius LTX: http://www.cyclegenius.com/ltx.htm
The Rans crank-forward bikes are getting good comments too–but they do cost more money. My local shop has a Cruz for $700 IIRC, and I think it’s the cheapest of the lot, and it might be a previous-year-model–already discounted.
To be fair, I own a Sun Speedster CX:

My last upright road and MTB bikes both cost around $1500 each. This bike cost around $1000, and is much more comfortable to ride.
